It's Thursday... time for a little Throwback!
Every
Thursday we will be sharing a wonderful project from a past issue of
Craft Stamper Magazine.... a full step by step tutorial for you to feast
your eyes upon! As a new project for our newer readers, or a reminder
for those who have been with us a while... it's sure to inspire!

Our project this week is by the super talented Helen Chilton, and was first published in the December 2014 issue of Craft Stamper. Helen shows us how to create a masterboard, and use it to create this stunning card!

Helen says:

I'd never made a masterboard before but I'm
always up for an experiment. It's a really good way of creating something
unique and is surprisingly easy once you get started.

A masterboard is simply a large background piece that is then cut
up into smaller pieces and used for several projects. It's like your own
personalised piece of patterned paper. The beauty of it is that anything goes.
You can use paints, inks, sprays, pencils, stamps, doodling, stencils… whatever
you like. It's your choice and it's very liberating.

I started with some blobs of
paint and a roller and just brayered it this way and that. Next I sprayed inks,
and then used inkpads for stencilling in different colours before getting to
the stamping layers. Try to stamp randomly using background stamps, images,
borders etc. While you’re doing all this, don't underestimate the white spaces.
When you spray or stencil or stamp it looks different on the paint than on the
white paper, creating more interest.

When
you're ready to cut up your background, try cutting out some different sized
windows and placing them over different parts of the background to see which
bits you like. Use the remnants of the masterboard to stamp your images on to
get a really coordinated look.
